At our last house, we had a large Rosemary bush in the garden. This cutting has rather a way to go to catch up!

Rubbing the leaves and releasing the refreshing scent feels somehow cooling to smell on this hot, hot day.

“There’s rosemary that’s for remembrance” says Ophelia in Hamlet. Apparently recent research shows there might well be a connection between eating rosemary or smelling the aroma and memory speed.

All the more reason to add a few sprigs to those roasting vegetables.
